    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Devis Vasquez is having a good day in the Owls goal and just as well too because he has been kept very busy.

    This time he stands firm to deny Georginio Rutter.

    The away side closing in on a first point of the season.

    Entertainment guaranteed at Portman Road.

    Runar Alex Runarsson has made a host of saves and makes another one, pushing away a fierce cross-shot from Omari Hutchinson, only for the ball to ricochet off Freddie Ladapo and into the net to complete the comeback from 2-0 down.

    Crewe Alexandra have turned things around in big style against MK Dons. Goals from Conor Thomas and Courtney Baker-Richardson has put them 2-1 ahead.

    And Crawley now lead Stockport 3-2 thanks to Danilo Orsi-Dadomo. Crawley were 2-0 down in this game!

    And Harvey Bunker has put Forest Green one up at Sutton United.

    Mileta Rajovic (79 mins)

    The Sky Blues have returned the gift.

    Some calamitous defending gives Watford the ball in the final third and Vakoun Bayo squares for Mileta Rajovic to slot home his second goal on his first start for the Hornets.

    What a match.

    GOAL: Plymouth 3-0 Blackburnpublished at 16:40 British Summer Time 2 September 2023

    Luke Cundle (80 mins)

    A shambles at the back from Blackburn.

    Their defenders leave the ball for goalkeeper Aynsley Pears who is not expecting it.

    He charges off his line and heads the ball clear.

    But substitute Luke Cundle is there for Plymouth and he lobs Pears and into the net.

    Shocking defending again.

    Stoke 0-2 Preston

    Lilywhites keeper Freddie Woodman holds onto an effort from the edge of the box by Stoke sub Bae Junho, who had only been on the pitch for two minutes.

    Woodman has also thwarted Tyrese Campbell's strike.

    This could be a fifth win in six for Preston at Stoke - their last defeat there was in January 2008. A different world.

    Ryan Hardie (77 mins)

    Callum Wright's shot is parried by the Blackburn keeper Aynsley Pears.

    But the ball lands neatly for Plymouth striker Ryan Hardie who tucks it away.

    Poor defending from Rovers.

    Ipswich 2-2 Cardiff

    Vaclav Hladky has produced two fine saves to prevent Cardiff from restoring their lead, first from Karlan Grant's shot and then Ike Ugbo's header.

    Another pulsating game at Portman Road after last Saturday's 4-3 defeat by Leeds.

    Jack Colback (71 mins)

    The visitors double their lead at the Riverside.

    The ball lands for Jack Colback who takes full advantage of the opportunity and finds the back of the net.

    Middlesbrough are bottom of the Championship table as it stands.

    Leeds 0-0 Sheff Wed

    Leeds will only have themselves to blame if they don't take the win here today.

    But they could well be behind.

    Callum Paterson has a great chance in the middle of the area but he can't make it count.

    Regan Poole makes it 3-1 to Portsmouth against Peterborough. Great turnaround for Pompey!

    A Tyrese Fornah own goal has given Bolton a 2-1 lead against 10-man Derby. They've also come from a goal down.

    Meanwhile it's still 0-0 in the game between Oxford United and Port Vale but the the U's are down to 10 men with Mark Harris sent off for violent conduct.

    And Devante Cole has put Barnsley ahead at Cheltenham.

    The home side go to their bench once more and it's veteran striker Jamie Vardy who is on to try and rescue this for the Foxes.

    Plymouth 1-0 Blackburn

    The flailing leg of a Plymouth defender denies Blackburn's Lewis Travis.

    The equaliser looked certain but his shot is deflected on to the crossbar.

    What more do the visitors need to do to get level? 20 minutes to go.

    Freddie Ladapo (68 mins)

    They can come back!

    Freddie Ladapo scored a lovely goal in the EFL Cup in midweek but this is his first league goal this season, scooping in from an acute angle, and brings Town back on level terms. Likely 30+ minutes to play... can they complete the turnaround?

    Conor Chaplin's shot is deflected past the upright as Ipswich pile on the pressure in search of an equaliser at Portman Road.

    Middlesbrough 0-1 QPR

    QPR's keeper Asmir Begovic and the Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath are having a proper battle.

    Begovic has pulled off a couple of brilliant saves to deny Lath this second half.

    Rotherham 2-1 Norwich

    Reporting for 5 Live Sport at the AESSEAL New York Stadium

    2,212 Norwich fans make up this crowd of just over 11,000 and they have turned up the volume now.

    Rotherham are still being positive but Norwich are looking so dangerous on the break, shooting towards their supporters. They’re finding space down the channels and really are stretching the Millers.

    It’s making it an end to end contest though. All perfectly balanced in the September sun.

    Blackburn are knocking on the door.

    Plymouth are fighting like demons to keep the equaliser out.

    Oh dear. Watford were on top and City keeper Ben Wilson just produced a stunning save to deny Imran Louza but moments later it's 2-2 out of nothing as Wes Hoedt tries to pass the ball back to keeper Daniel Bachmann who is not where he expects him to be and is unable to prevent the ball finding the net.

    Definitely one to watch later... unless your surname is Hoedt.

    Newport have come from two goals down to make it 2-2 against AFC Wimbledon. Omar Bogle has levelled things up.

    Same story in the game between Stockport and Crawley. Laurence Maguire has made it 2-2 equalising for Crawley when they were also two down.

    And Isaac Hutchinson has put Walsall one up against Colchester.
